I've tried the obvious possibilities to the best of my ability. Unfortunately without constantly scanning it's pretty much unknowable. The system is capable of replacing text too (it's a full man-in-the-middle)... so we either have to take it on faith that nothing else is being done, or find a way to scan. I've been told by that the lists used are rife with obvious example of technical incompetence (i.e. including session IDs in URLs, or outright invalid syntax). With that in mind we probably can't expect reasonable application even if we have faith that the intentions are good. For instance, the rule might be change to avoid the currently successful evasion of using the /w/ URL but in the process of doing that every article title with "virgin" as a substring might end up blocked. Our only option is to constantly scan if we don't want Wikipedia to be mysteriously missing content. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
